day job, waaaaaaaugh, health, mh (+++++++++++++++++), fatigue, possible severe 🐯malfunction (±)
I just did a 9.5 hour shift with a chest cold. But I'm fine. I'm great. I'm amazing. I feel perfectly sane and none the worse for wear. I have a sound mind in a pure body and I'm strong as an ox. They can't touch me, because I'm Garnet, Villanelle, Catra. I'm Saint Hobbes and Suzie Derkins rolled into one. I'm Barbara Gordon, Mary Celeste, Pirate Jenny; I'm Deborah in the Book of Judges, Deirdre of the Sorrows, eating the nightingales among trees. I'm miracle ingredient Z-247. I'm immense. I'm a real slam-bang, honest-to-goodness, three-fisted humdinger. I'm a bona fide Supracat.
*laughs for 37 straight seconds, fails to apologize to Joseph Heller for ripping off Yossarian, clearly enunciates the word "vibescu," then topples over face-first into the bowl of hummus she was struggling to remember how to eat: it goes in the lowermost face hole, that is how you know it is working* 🙀

“As far back as Yossarian could recall, he explained to Clevinger with a patient smile, somebody was always hatching a plot to kill him. There were people who cared for him and people who didn't, and those who hated him were out to get him. They hated him because he was Assyrian. But they couldn't touch him, he told Clevinger, because he had a sound mind in a pure body and was as strong as an ox. They couldn't touch him because he was Tarzan, Mandrake, Flash Gordon. He was Bill Shakespeare. He was Cain, Ulysses, the Flying Dutchman; he was Lot in Sodom, Deirdre of the Sorrows, Sweeney in the nightingales among trees. He was miracle ingredient Z-247. He was—"
"—Crazy!" Clevinger interrupted, shrieking. "That's what you are! Crazy!"
"—immense. I'm a real slam-bang, honest-to-goodness, three-fisted humdinger. I'm a bona fide Supraman."
"Superman?" Clevinger cried. "Superman?"
"Supraman," Yossarian corrected.
